Ushenina (2491) - Khotenashvili (2505), 2013
White to move

In this critical position the World Women's Chess Champion could have stopped Black from winning the tournament in clear first. However, she didn't find the strongest continuation. What about you?

	know it After 1.b5 axb5 2.Nxb5 Qa5 3.Bxe7 Nxe7 4.Nfd4 Nf6 5.Nc7 (or 2..Qb6 3.Bxe7 Nxe7 4.Nc7 Qxb1 5.Rxb1) White stands much better in all instances. Other moves are worse 2..Qb8 19.Bxe7 Nxe7 20.Nc7 or 2...Qd7 3.Rxc6! (or 3.Ne5 Nxe5 4.Rc7) bxc6 4.Ne5

	Amateur White should capitalise on the precarious position of Black's Queen. As I see it, White should continue as follows: 1.b5 axb5 2.Nxb5 Qb8 (If 2. ... Qd7 3.Ne5 NxN 4.Rc7 Qe8 5.RxB etc.) 3.RxN bxR 4.BxB Rd7 5.Ng5 Nf6 6.BxN gxB 7.Qxh7+ Kf8 8.Qh8+ Ke7 9.QxQ RxQ 10.NxB cxN 11.Nd4 winning. What a miss! ;(
